Vulnerability discussion

Since unrestricted access to the MFD or printer for management is not required the restricting the management interface to specific IP addresses decreases the exposure of the system to malicious actions. If the MFD or printer is compromised it could lead to a denial of service or a compromise of sensitive data.The SA will ensure devices can only be remotely managed by SA’s or printer administrators from specific IPs (SA workstations and print spooler).

Check content

The reviewer will, with the assistance of the SA, verify that the MFD or printer can only be remotely managed by SA or printer administrator from specific IPs (SA workstations and print spooler). Look for list that restricts the protocol used for administrative access to specific IP addresses.

Fix text

Restrict access to the MFD's or printer's management function to a specific set of IP addresses. If the device lacks this functionality use an ACL in a router, firewall or switch to restrict the access.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
